  3. Goals of the Fitness Model LIFETIME ADHERENCE TO PHYSICAL ACTIVITY & FITNESS!!!!!! (emphasized more here) • Physical: Achieve health enhancing levels of fitness for each health-related fitness component. What are the five components? • Psychological: positive values regarding exercise, internal locus of control, exercise self-efficacy, internal motivation • Comprehend the “how” and “why” behind fitness and wellness. • Cognitive: Develop knowledge of fitness concepts to lead a healthy, active life • Engage in regular exercise outside of school • Assess own fitness levels and develop a personal activity program based upon those results.

  4. Choices – When to Incorporate? • Emphasize fitness throughout every unit (include personal fitness plans and fitness assessments) • Emphasize fitness throughout every unit AND have a specific unit devoted to fitness • Fitness progression 4-8 (Solomon Schechter) • Designate entire grades to fitness • Many school districts choose the 9th and/or 10th grade. • This is a logical time b/c students are better understanding the importance of fitness but may not be totally ready for lifetime activities. • Alternate fitness units mixing classroom and gymnasium instruction with activity/sport units which also have a fitness emphasis. • Example

  5. What to Incorporate? • The choice varies greatly • A good option is to sample fitness related textbooks which are geared towards middle and high school physical education.
